With 287 stores in thirty-eight countries and 655 million customers worldwide, IKEA is the world s largest furniture retailer. The company was foundedin Sweden in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad.
At the beginning, the company was only selling consumer goods; in 1948 they also added furniture shipping to their sales portfolio. Transporting bulky parts of furniture in flat packs was a revolutionary idea in distribution in those days.
There was no stopping the success story of IKEA.
In 1965 the then largest furniture shopping centre in Sweden was opened.
Since the run on this shop exceeded all expectations, the warehouse turned into a howroom, and has continued to do so until the present day.
In 1973 the IKEA branch in Spreitenbach/Switzerland became the first retail store to open outside Scandinavia
